Hey guys
Thinking of getting a keyboard for my tab. Does anyone have one and r running cm9? Does it work fine? Were talking about the official USB keyboard from Samsung.
Thanks

Which one exactly? Maybe this one: samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab-accessories/ECR-K14AWEGSTA
If that's the case, I have one and it works, except some shortcut keys like brightness up/down, home, app drawer, and recent apps.

Oh yeah, in general, it works fine.
Just for the record, there's something else that doesn't work at the moment with ICS, switching the input language of the keyboard, only english.

This may help, if not, let me know and I can add support for more languages and keyboard layouts.

I'm using ICS and a Logitec Keyboard and Mouse. Everything is working great. No problems. I'm sorry, didn't read the questions right. I'm not using USB Keyboard, I'm using a Bluetooth Keyboard with ICS
i'm using official bluetooth keyboard case from samsung and it does work except:
-can't change language (to russian in my case)
-mute button
-play\prev track\next track
-app drawer button
-options button
-multitasking button
-brightness up\down
-hide keyboard button
-voice search button
Does anyone know a fix for that?
Thanks in advance

Yeh this is a really important concern. The keyboard loses so much value if a good portion of its buttons dont work and it wasnt a cheap keyboard... There must be some app somewhere for rebinding key inputs from bluetooth keyboards...
couldn't find it on the market and forum. If you see any, please, drop a link here

Can you post a photo of the keyboard where all keys are visible? I may be able to help.

How does the "Lang" button work? Do you need to hold it down to access the Russian characters?
no, it is toggled (like caps)
i have the same problem with the same keys, my keyboard is a samsung and white color, with the same order that shows in the images (am still not allowed to post outside links)
does you guys think that one app can solve this?

I'm not sure about the "Lang" key. That's new to me and does not exist the keyboards that I am used to. It may need Samsungs own input method to work.
I might give it a try though. In a worst case scenario I guess it might be possible to use the "Lang" key as "Alt Gr" to access the Russian characters. Not an ideal solution but better than nothing I guess.
Install Keytest.apk from here and note down all the scancodes for the keys in the top and the bottom row.
(Also if any qwertz (German) or azerty (french) users read this I am also looking for the scancode for "#" (German keyboard) and "*" (French keyboard) for Samsung keyboard dock or bluetooth keyboards. Seems Samsung using different codes for the extra key on 102-key layouts than a standard PC keyboard does.)

Try my new app. I just added Russian layout to it for the russian layout I put the complete US layout on ALT and ALT+SHIFT positions. You can also configure one of the function keys to turn remapping on and off but I see now that the samsung keyboard does not have function keys.
Try the demo version and if it works, then using the debugging menu to read the scancode for the "Lang" button and hopefully I can add language switching support also for that key.

Hebrew is added now but you propably know that allready. "Alt+Shift" is not a good option because Alt+Shift+Key is used in some layouts to store 4 different symbols on the same key.
Hi.
Is there some possibility, to activate arrow-keys (left, right, up, down) in the codefireX keyboard, as in the htc-sense-keyboard ?
Also: How do I hide the keyboard on some input-field ? HTC-original has a key bottom left to hide it !
Thanks
Micha_he
e.g.: The 'HTC_IME MOD v30' does not work unfortunately with JB4.2 !
No, but codefireX has an option to enable left and right keys in the navbar (if you enable it) and/or use volume keys to move the cursor left/right. If you must have all direction keys in the keyboard, use a keyboard that has the feature like SwiftKey or SwiftKey Flow Beta (if you want swiping).
To hide the keyboard in an input field, just press back.

Ok. I will wait for a new version of "HTC IME MOD"-keyboard.

Thanks, that was easy
Lol. I'd suggest you try SwiftKey Flow. It's a million times better than the HTC keyboard.

Ok, ok. I'll take a look to SwiftKey Flow. But the video and the screenshots i have found, show no cursor-keys
I've had a look to 'SwiftKey Flow Beta'. It's right, you can add the cursor-keys at the bottom of the keyboard, under the config-options.
Thanks to sashank....

Many of the 3rd party keyboards in the Play Store have an option to add arrow keys. Another really nice one, if you don't need gesture typing, is Smart Keyboard Pro.

If you rooted your S4 mini, you just follow the Installation guide as below link by using "Samsung Chinese Keyboard".
I've got vibration when touching the keys, this keyboard also has "English IME" too. You can try it out.

Yep, you can use ruKeyboard or Russian Keyboard which allows to change keyboard layout with Ctrl+space or any other shortcut and bind all extra keys to usefull functions.

alt + spacebar gives me nothing. Which is strange I think.
